Gruden declined to specifically comment about the Raiders this past weekend, saying "there is no news to report".

In short, pumping new life into the offense is a must for the team in the offseason if Del Rio expects to remain on the Raiders roster.

In 11 seasons as an National Football League head coach, Gruden has a 95-81 record in the regular season and 5-4 record in the postseason.

Pagano finished his first head coaching job with a 56-46 record, including a 3-3 mark in the playoffs.

One potential complication with the Raiders is the fact that current coach Jack Del Rio was just awarded a four-year contract extension in February. The Raiders must comply with the "Rooney Rule" and interview at least one minority candidate during the hiring process.

Gruden, 54, has been reluctant to return to the NFL in part because of his high-paying job with ESPN on Monday Night Football and because he has been vocal in his distaste for NFLPA-mandated restrictions on practice and training time.
